It IS May now...May pickups!!!!! Baseball dammit!!!!

Wow, Pete! Terrific!

Bah, for a guy who accidently wins Rowdy Lowdy, this set will be a piece of cake.

Here are a couple of May pickups:

Never seen that Robinson pose before.

He looks like he's ready for lift-off.

I am probably going to cross it into a SGC holder, don't think it will get better than a 30 but those condom holders suck and there is less risk losing value in OJs.

The clarity of the runner is better than the airplane driver. Very pleased with the pickup.

Pete, In the fasting stage. I think that is worse than the surgery.

Back scan of the Morrell?

I don't think it will lose value on the cross because anyone can see it isn't really a 4. Any two-player OJ is cool, especially if a guy is lying on the ground. Plus, I like the airplane driver!

Love this guy's name. I should probably stop posting these T206 commons, but the set has some great names in it, and I just love the intensity of that red background.

The thread is for May pickups for Pre WWII cards if you purchase any and want to show them that's what this thread is for, keep posting always nice to see.

Lee

That is a really nice T206.

It had been a while since I'd purchased some "E's". Thought I'd jump back in with these.
The CJ caramel stain on the Marquard add's a nice touch. Love it!!
Oh and a couple new vintage BB rppc's with fantastic images.

Those are some sweet CJs, those have always appealed to me but I always thought kind of spendy. I have just bought the cards with poses I like, they have some great ones.

I also wish I could stumble across some old baseball postcards at the local antique shops but no luck so far.

These to bad boys cost me a whole $12.50 with shipping. Future HOFers:

Hughie Jennings was a total jerk, but that is one awesome card of him!

Wow, those Cracker Jack's are fantastic. That Jennings, especially. I've thought many times about getting into this set, but I'm scared off by the cost. They're great cards, though. Love the design. And I like seeing someone say that they like the stains! I've often felt crazy for being able to appreciate stains or surface noise on a card. I think these features add something great to a card, like they carry the history in them, but I know a lot of buyers will shy away because it renders the card 'less than perfect.' Fine for them. I'll take it. As I traverse my mid-40's, I realize more and more every day: Ain't nothin' wrong with aging.

Great cards! Thanks for sharing.

Picked up a pretty tough card recently....e-unc Orange Border Criger:
